Continuous Video Monitoring: Implementation Strategies for Safe Patient Care and Identified Best Practices.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sitters are often used in the inpatient setting as a measure to ensure safety of patients with cognitive and behavioral concerns.

Problem

Sitters are costly, and evidence is lacking that their presence produces safer outcomes. Continuous video monitoring is a safe alternative; yet, there is a lack of best practices and implementation strategies.

Approach

A large academic medical center in the Pacific Northwest introduced continuous video monitoring as an adjunct measure to replace sitter use when appropriate. Adoption of the technology was influenced by nurse enculturation, leader standard work (standard parameters used by nurse leaders for process improvement), data tracking management, and patient/family feedback.

Outcomes

Continuous video monitoring is a bridge for the nursing staff to enhance safety for patients and an additional safety intervention when sitter use is not reasonable.

Conclusion

Utilizing technology such as continuous video monitoring can relieve sitters to allow for optimal productivity, increased safety, cost reduction, and nurse/family satisfaction.

Project description:Wastewater reclamation and reuse have the potential to supplement water supplies, offering resiliency in times of drought and helping meet increased water demands associated with population growth. Non-potable water reuse represents the largest potential reuse market. Yet economic constraints for new water reuse infrastructure and safety concerns due to microbial water quality, and especially viral pathogen exposure, limit widespread implementation of water reuse. Cost-effective, real-time methods to measure or indicate viral quality of recycled water would do much to instill greater confidence in the practice. This manuscript discusses advancements in monitoring and modeling of viral health risks in the context of water reuse. First, we describe the current wastewater reclamation processes and treatment technologies with an emphasis on virus removal. Second, we review technologies for the measurement of viruses, both culture- and molecular-based, along with their advantages and disadvantages. We introduce promising viral surrogates and specific pathogenic viruses that can serve as indicators of viral risk for water reuse. We suggest metagenomic analyses for viral screening and flow cytometry for quantification of virus-like particles as new approaches to complement more traditional methods. Third, we describe modeling to assess health risks through quantitative microbial risk assessments (QMRAs), the most common strategy to couple data on virus concentrations with human exposure scenarios. We then explore the potential of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to incorporate suites of data from wastewater treatment processes, water quality parameters, and viral surrogates. We recommend ANNs as a means to utilize existing water quality data, alongside new complementary measures of viral quality, to achieve cost-effective strategies to assess risks associated with infectious human viruses in recycled water. Given the review, we conclude that technologies are ready for identifying and implementing viral surrogates for health risk reduction in the next decade. Incorporating modeling with monitoring data would likely result in more robust assessment of water reuse risk.
